After the pseudo-confrontation with his mother, Ian finished sipping his tea. He did not touch any other meal because he had not come there for breakfast but had only wanted to see his family.
He got up and helped Shelby up. He glanced casually around and led Shelby out without saying anything to his parents.
"He is still the same! I thought a couple of years may have done him good in there but he is still the same. Remind me why I wanted him here so badly?"
Geneva let out a gentle smile at her husband, and they shared a knowing smile.
She was glad that Ian wanted to take over the situation, whatever that was with James, but they also needed to be there.
They finished their meal and hurried towards the receiving area after them.
